I do like OEL quite a bit, but he's not Norris-calibre anymore. Top 4 for sure and maybe even still top 2, but not Norris, at least not as of the past two years when he didn't receive any Norris votes. I'm still very excited with this deal though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knucklehead91 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Glad there is cap retention too. I think this trade is going to pay off for both teams. We added a 15-20goal scorer to help and OEL may have had some “rough” numbers the past couple seasons, but lets just remind everyone HE PLAYED IN F***ING ARIZONA and everyone had rough numbers.

brownky Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 So that's right on the nose for what I said. OEL is a 7m defenceman. Jim pulled off a good hockey deal today if that's "it" - no prospects, just used-up "people" and a 'late early' pick for Garland who is a great young player and a very, very solid D-man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kobayashi Maru Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 Only way you don’t like this trade is if you don’t know OEL or Garland or still believe in Loui, Rouss or Beagle. 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFCanucks is losing it's f***ing mind right now and most are proclaiming that they're jumping ship for the Kraken. Mind you, that's just an average day for that place. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 1 minute ago, nucksnavsfan said: Wth Benning. You said you’d consider trading the 9th if it was for a ‘young ‘ player was looking forward to actually seeing a Canucks 1st round pick in the draft finally , ugh He actually did just that. And then he admitted he's made a whole bunch of bad mistakes by unloading them for another potentially huge mistake. And therein lies the gamble - if OEL wilts in his 30's it will be really bad. Or he might find the fountain of youth. Probably somewhere in the middle. I'm currently not a fan, but may be by tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleboy Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Both of the forwards that he has brought in need contracts. They won't be moving Holtby because they can't afford to not have solid goal tending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If retention is true then this is a fair trade both sides. Weak draft but sucks to lose 9th for sure but we can’t suck for too long or youngsters will get upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB has redeemed himself IMO. Hope OEL works out great with a fresh start. Need him to be the yang to Quinn's yin. your page says you've only been here since 2006, liar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 6 minutes ago, DSVII said: It's short term cap relief disguising long term pain. I would have been fine with one more year of Loui and Roussell. We've lost the $7ish mil in cap flexibility for the next five years, which is prime in the flat cap era.. Opportunity cost wise, you are banking on OEL in his late thirties outperforming the 9OA pick and whatever Free agents you could have signed with that cap space. I don't think this is going to age well. The problem in my view is people overthinking it way too much. For whatever reason fans think it is their problem to manage the cap and analyze deals and future what ifs. I’m looking forward to seeing the on-ive product. Everything else will be fixed by people well aware of the financial landscape in the NHL and trust me they have thought this through. We gave up nothing of real value compared to what we got in return. We moved out 3 players proven to be past their prime and not being able to help the team and one good chance (still just a chance). We got a great top-9 energy guy and a proven d-man with more upside than anyone we moved out. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
